I wish there were more decals for this body style, I think it is a cool body style. I would like to do Tommy Houston's Roses Store car with the neat "6" numbers.
This is an AMT kit built box stock with JNJ aftermarket decals. It was done a while ago so I am not sure it was JNJ but thats my best guess. Decals were a bit to big for 1/25 scale.
Thanks for the kind words, the grills are on the Slixx decal sheet in the kit. I enjoy doing cars that you dont see that often, I would like to do his Ralphs Car and Paychex as well.
I will be there, always a great show with plenty of vendors and the competition is strong. If you are in the area on that day I would definitely recommend this event. It is first class all the way and well run.
My first finished model of 2012. It's box stock with Slixx decals, Classic White and Boyds purple with a touch of white to soften it up. The cowl flaps and front and side spoilers were shot semi gloss black with the airbrush.
Super smooth paint, you really brought that Thunderbird back to life! That's awesome that your wife found it for you, I wish my wife would do that for me.
I saw Ricky move up the ranks in the Busch North Series in the early 90's. I was always at the races at NHIS. I got to meet him a few times and just a real nice guy.
